New version of Kindle to be launched next year "at the earliest"

Posted by Katherine Thompson on September 5, 2008 at 2:29 PM
Business Week's report that Amazon planned to launch a new version of its eponymous Kindle e-book reader have proved wide of the mark.

Dow Jones Newswire report that Amazon spokesman Craig Berman said on the issue: "Don't believe everything you read -- there's a lot of rumor and speculation out there about Kindle. One thing I can tell you for sure is that there will be no new version of Kindle this year. A new version will come out sometime next year at the earliest."
